I use my 4x4 in snow and would like for it to be higher up. Has anyone modified the rear wheel wells inorder to allow the use of larger diameter tires? Other suggestions?

Definitely! Go for it! Bear with the project/in progress aesthetic. After a bit of cutting, Datsun 210 race flares, and fiberglass- can now accomodate 195/50/15s with plenty of room to spare. Just scored a set of steelies with 195/60/15 Blizzaks- trying to take advantage of the last few warm days to refurb/rustproof/color change them - will test the clearance soon and let you know. Cross your fingers, because I'm hoping to run those for a bunch of studless class ice races this season! Don't hesitate/ hit me with any questions, #891989 Subaru JUSTY RS 4WD 123, 993 miles

Nice bodywork! Did you also change the ride height to fit the 15" tires? Peter Victoria, BC

Thanx fellows! Henri- more pics soon. Peter- did nothing to the suspension yet... even though the springs are stock and shocks are tired, I don't have any rubbing issues (unless I cram in 2-3 beer-gutted clowns in the back and maintain speed over the railroad crossings ). I am running spacers so, combined with the 50 profile that helps a bit. The ride might look a little higher, because I allowed for a little more gap when cutting hoping that snow wouldn't lodge in the wheel wells as easily! Dunk- looking for that link they are a good group of true school Datsun motorsport folks... I have it buried in an email or a favorites subfolder. I recall the guy specifically asking if they were going on a Datsun before he sold them to me. For the sake of honesty, I told him that 'I could only guarantee that they were going on a non-Honda Japanese car in a way that would be installed with all due respect, hopefully making him proud.' Talk to you soon, #891989 Subaru JUSTY RS 4WD 125, 099 miles
